Märchen - kaum zu schildern : mit lebend'gen Bildern
A German fairy-tale picture book titled Märchen - kaum zu schildern, illustrated by Robert Hertwig and published in 1910 for young readers; the pictures are mostly sepia or colour line-and-wash scenes of folk-tale figures, such as a girl at a hearth, a sleeping maiden with a prince, and a cauldron over a fire. A designer might take from them the simple, narrow-outlined storytelling style of early twentieth-century German children's illustration, with its strong silhouettes and decorative bordered vignettes.
